Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Brenda is an inspiring young woman from El Salvador who moved to the U.S. at 12. Her journey through foster care began in 9th grade after being separated from her beloved father. The separation was devastating, but Brenda believes that everything in life happens for a reason. Despite the challenges, including a language barrier, Brenda graduated from high school and went on to college, eventually becoming a permanent resident. Brenda draws strength from her faith in God. In her free time, Brenda enjoys dancing, singing, listening to music, exploring new places, and spending time with her partner.

Brenda is requesting an Apple Watch, which her workplace has recommended to help her manage tasks, stay on schedule, and improve communication. Currently, she does not own a watch of any kind, making it challenging for her to keep track of her shifts, time-sensitive responsibilities, and urgent updates from her employer. The Apple Watch would enable her to receive notifications discreetly, monitor time during busy shifts, and remain available for immediate responses when needed. In addition to supporting her professional duties, Brenda sees the watch as a personal milestone—something she has always wanted but has never been able to afford. It would not only enhance her productivity but also provide her with a sense of empowerment and pride, knowing she has the right tools to succeed in her work environment.
